Introduction
The Dellt Online Rack uninterruptible power system (UPS) protects your sensitive electronic
equipment from basic power problems such as power failures, power sags, power surges, brownouts, and
line noise.
Power outages can occur when you least expect them and power quality can be erratic. These power
problems have the potential to corrupt critical data, destroy unsaved work sessions, and damage
hardware — causing hours of lost productivity and expensive repairs.
With the Dell Online Rack UPS, you can safely eliminate the effects of power disturbances and guard
the integrity of your equipment. The UPS's flexibility to handle an array of network devices makes it the
perfect choice to protect your LANs, servers, workstations, and other electrical equipment.
Figure 1 shows the Dell Online Rack UPS.

Introduction
Providing outstanding performance and reliability, the UPS's unique benefits include:
S Online UPS design with pure sine wave output. The UPS filters and regulates incoming AC power
and provides consistent power to your equipment without draining the battery.
S True online double-conversion technology with high power density, utility frequency
independence, and generator compatibility.
S Selectable High Efficiency mode of operation.
S 4U size that fits any standard 48 cm (19”) rack.
S Start‐on‐battery capability for powering up the UPS even if utility power is not available.
S Maintenance is simplified by allowing the safe replacement of batteries without powering down the
UPS.
S Extended runtime with an optional External Battery Module (EBM).
S Emergency shutdown control through the Remote Emergency Power-off (REPO) ports.
S Two standard communication ports (USB and DB-9 serial port).
S Optional Dell Network Management Card with enhanced communication capabilities for
increased power protection and control.
S Advanced power management with the Dell UPS Management Software for graceful shutdowns
and power monitoring.

Safety Warnings
CAUTION: Before performing the procedures in this document, read and follow the safety instructions and
important regulatory information in your Safety, Environmental, and Regulatory Information document.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This manual contains important instructions that you should follow during installation and
maintenance of the UPS and batteries. Please read all instructions before operating the equipment and
save this manual for future reference.
DANGER:
avoided, will result in death or serious injury:
S This UPS contains LETHAL VOLTAGES. All repairs and service should be performed by
AUTHORIZED SERVICE PERSONNEL ONLY. There are NO USER SERVICEABLE
PARTS inside the UPS.
WARNING:
avoided, could result in death or injury:
S Only qualified service personnel (such as a licensed electrician) shall perform the electrical
installation. Risk of electrical shock.
S For UPS models with hardwired input, overcurrent protection for the output AC circuit(s) is to be
provided by others.
S For UPS models with hardwired input, suitably rated disconnect switches for the output AC
circuit(s) are to be provided by others.
S Output overcurrent protection and disconnect switch must be provided by others.
S This UPS contains its own energy source (batteries). The output receptacles may carry live voltage
even when the UPS is not connected to an AC supply.
S Do not remove or unplug the input cord when the UPS is turned on. This removes the safety
ground from the UPS and the equipment connected to the UPS.
S To reduce the risk of fire, connect only to a circuit provided with branch circuit overcurrent
protection with an ampere rating in accordance with the National Electrical Code
ANSI/NFPA 70 or your local electrical code:
Observe the following instruction to help prevent an imminently hazardous situation which, if not

S To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, install this UPS in a temperature and humidity
controlled, indoor environment, free of conductive contaminants. Ambient temperature must not
exceed 40°C (104°F). Do not operate near water or excessive humidity (95% maximum).
S Unpacking the cabinet in a low-temperature environment may cause condensation to occur in and
on the cabinet. Do not install the cabinet until the inside and outside of the cabinet are absolutely
dry (hazard of electric shock).
S If the UPS requires any type of transportation, disconnect the internal UPS batteries before
transporting (see page 58).
CAUTION:
avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury or in property damage incidents:
Observe the following instructions to help prevent a potentially hazardous situation which, if not
S For PLUGABLE EQUIPMENT, the power outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall
be easily accessible.
S Servicing of batteries should be performed or supervised by personnel knowledgeable about
batteries and the required precautions. Keep unauthorized personnel away from batteries.
S Batteries can present a risk of electrical shock or burn from high short-circuit current. The
following precautions should be observed: 1) Remove watches, rings, or other metal objects; 2) Use
tools with insulated handles; 3) Wear rubber gloves and boots; 4) Do not lay tools or metal parts on
top of batteries; 5) Disconnect the charging source prior to connecting or disconnecting battery
terminals.
S Determine if the battery is inadvertently grounded. If inadvertently grounded, remove the utility
source from the ground. Contact with any part of a grounded battery can result in electrical shock.
The likelihood of such shock can be reduced if such grounds are removed during installation and
maintenance (applicable to equipment and remote battery supplies not having a grounded supply
circuit).
S ELECTRIC ENERGY HAZARD. Do not attempt to alter any battery wiring or connectors.
Attempting to alter wiring can cause injury.
S Replace batteries with the same number and type of batteries as originally installed in the UPS.
S Proper disposal of batteries is required. Refer to your local codes for disposal requirements.
S Never dispose of batteries in a fire. Batteries may explode when exposed to flame.
S Do not open or mutilate the battery or batteries. Released electrolyte is harmful to the skin and
eyes and may be extremely toxic.
S The UPS may be connected to a maximum of one External Battery Module (EBM).

Safety Warnings
WARNING: Additional instructions for Rack-Mounted Systems
S Your rack kit has been approved only for the rack cabinet provided. It is your responsibility to
ensure that installation of the equipment into any other rack complies with all applicable
standards. Dell disclaims all liability and warranties with respect to combinations of equipment
with any other rack.
S Before installing your equipment in a rack, install all front and side stabilizers. Failure to install
stabilizers can allow the rack to tip over.
S Always load from the bottom up, and load the heaviest items first.
S Do not overload the AC power supply branch circuit that provides power to the rack.
S Do not stand or step on any components in the rack.
WARNING:
Slide/rail mounted equipment is not to be used as a shelf or work space.
Do not add weight to slide/rail mounted equipment.

Rackmount Setup
CAUTION: The cabinet is heavy (see page 62): 1) Dell strongly recommends to remove the battery tray from the
UPS before lifting. 2) Lifting the cabinets into the rack requires a minimum of two people.
CAUTION: Removing the batteries should be performed or supervised by personnel knowledgeable about
batteries and the required precautions. Keep unauthorized personnel away from batteries.
CAUTION: If installing an optional EBM, install the EBM directly below the UPS.
NOTE: Mounting rails are required for each individual cabinet.
To install the UPS and optional EBM in a rack:
1 Remove the internal battery trays from the UPS:
Loosen the thumbscrew on the battery retaining bracket and remove (see Figure 9).
Figure 9. Removing the Battery Retaining Bracket
|
18
Installation
Pull the battery trays out using the plastic tabs and remove the battery trays (see Figure 10).
Figure 10. Removing the Battery Trays
2 If installing additional UPSs, repeat Step 1 for each cabinet.
NOTE:
The instructions are the same for square-hole racks and unthreaded, round-hole racks. The rails fit both
rack styles. The square-hole rack is shown in the illustrations.
3 Select the proper holes in the rail for positioning the cabinet in the desired location in the rack.
The rails should be located at the bottom of the 4U space allocated for the UPS or 3U for the
EBM.
4 Position the end of the left and right rails labeled FRONT facing inward.
